Never seen so many.
Had a mini working party at one of our lakes today with a boat and two drags, clearing 6' wide channels in front of half a dozen swims.
Had to reallocate the division of labour to two in the boat, two pulling the rope, two clearing the previous drag and two sorting through the weed to return all the mini-tench to the lake. Every drag producing at least a couple of dozen around an inch long, presumably this years spawning, and almost as many of 3 to 4 inches, presumably last years.
In 40 years of fishing, never seen more than a tiny number of tench that small. Must have been a couple of really good spawning years- anyone else noticed this ?
